Tauský Coventry: A Meditation
Mendelssohn Quartet in A minor Op 13
A programme based on the very moving work that Vilém Tauský wrote in November 1940 after going into Coventry with a Czech Free Army ambulance and seeing the smouldering ruins of the cathedral. The Drapers’ Hall only yards away survived intact and, following renovations, opens this October as a music venue.

Tauský Coventry

Originally formed in London in 2006, the Jubilee Quartet is currently Associate String Quartet at the Royal Birmingham Conservatoire. Its most recent appearance in Leamington was in the 2017 Festival playing the Mendelssohn Octet with the Doric Quartet.
Vilem Tauský, with the Czech Free Army, was living in The Parade when he went into Coventry to help after the blitz in November 1940. His very moving response, on seeing the destroyed cathedral, has also been played here several times and it is right to revive it, eighty years on to the month.
